Published purpose

At Phase 1 of the project, the possibility of converting recycled concrete remains obtained from Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) and Returned Concrete (RC) leavings from ready mix concrete trucks into reactive Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) using proposed by the firm's method of mechanochemical activation (MCA) technology was confirmed. While the process was not optimized because of short duration of Phase 1, the positive results suggested use of such method for processing other than recycled concrete inert minerals, and particularly proposed a local solution to a pressing problem of converting GTA Georgian Bay Shale (GBS) bedrock excavation and tunneling waste into reactive SCM that can be further used in concrete production.
